Blood, Boobs and Carnage Blogfest

After a very busy weekend, it is so nice and normal to come home to the Blood, Boobs and Carnage Blogfest. This event is sponsored by Alex J. Cavanaugh and Heather M. Gardner. To participate, share a movie, TV show or book that fits the self-explanatory title of this fest.

I'm rather sure I'm not going to be the only one to pick this TV show and the books it is based on certainly fit the description too. My children bet on how many minutes into an episode of Game of Thrones the first nude scene will occur because lots of skin will be shown every week. Usually full nudity and not just of boobs. Blood and Carnage! Can I say Red Wedding? Too many examples to even name them and more will follow.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

The Pennwriters' Conference this past weekend was wonderful. You know I'll be sharing lots of information with you on this blog over the next few weeks with the first installment showing up this Wednesday. The only bad part of the event was driving through road construction. Pennsylvania does road work in a manner designed to torture commuters. I believe my home state to be the bozo kings of road construction.

I'm looking forward getting back to my WIP, the first in a new science fiction romance series. And it is time to get some yard work done. I haven't planted anything yet.

How does your state handle road construction? Do you think I picked the winner for the blogfest? Have your spring yard work done? Can I sign you up to attend our state conference next year?

Yep, Game of Thrones fits this blogfest to a tee! I'm not a fan of road construction, and with our winters, it all has to take place in the summer. That said, I don't think they're out to torture us here in Rochester, but then again, I've lived here long enough to know alternate routes which helps enormously.

I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan! As for construction, I have my fill already and the summer hasn't even started. They're putting a new interstate through our town and all the construction goes on during the summer while the university students are away.

Game of Thrones is definitely the king of the Blogfest. In California they talk about road construction a lot and when they finally do it the create a major mess. If we left it up to our stupid Moonbeam governor though, none of us would be driving and we'd all be on foot, riding bicycles, or taking bullet trains to nowhere.

Game of Thrones was my choice as well. It was made for this blogfest. When I mentioned the theme of the blogfest o my wife, she thought it was about Game of Thrones. Glad you had a fun and educational time at the conference. I always feels good to get back to a WIP. I'm looking forward to getting back to writing.

Hi,I can say Pennsylvania is not the only state behind the times. Here in Germany I believe the construction work dates back to the stone age. It never fails that right before school vacation there is construction all over Germany and also traffic jams. As for your pick Game of Thrones, to be honest, I haven't seen it yet. (Don't scream :-) I don't get much American Television in Germany at all. You can buy a Sky Card but you have to have a residence in the U.K. Shalom,Pat

We have a lot of stupid construction, as well. It's affecting right next to my work, so yeah, totally. As for Game of Thrones, hell yeah it fits this blogfest to a T. South Park did a funny episode about it and had a "dangling weiners" song to the theme song tune. Not just boobs indeed!

I was explaining to my husband the other day that long before we started watching the show (just started), I knew Martin was known for killing off his darlings. Man, he just wipes everyone out. That show is certainly full of blood, boobs, and carnage.

Game of Thrones is the best example yet of B,B & C. Outstanding. It sounds to me like you enjoyed the conference. Your WIP has to be good. Can't wait to read it one day. Yard work done here? Check. We live on a farm. Still planting veggies though.

I saw another blog with Game of Thrones as their pick too! Glad your conference went well. I've had some time to get some things in the ground, but not as much as I usually do. Thanks for dropping by! Lisa @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com

GoT is way ahead in the blogfest! I'll need to watch it someday. Glad the conference went well but boo to the roadworks. Around this time of year we have a lot because they're using up all their money for the financial year.

Hi Susan. Wow, I'm reading a lot about Game of Thrones. Until now I had no idea what it was really about. It just didn't spark my curiosity but it's piqued now for sure! I'll have to binge watch the first season so I can see what all the fuss is about... Happy BB&C!Michele at Angels Bark
